Does Anyone Know Where I Can Buy . . .

 . . . those snazzy little magnetic devices that keep your folding Dahon or similar folded?

Obviously, me going downmarket 'n all that, my PimpCycle Space Genies - 'The Origami Wonderbike'TM - (£2.99 from any good newsagent [and most crap ones]) was delivered with nothing more than the knotted bungee on the carrier to keep the bike folded.

I've more or less stopped it from chafing itself - Oo'er, Missus! - but it's going thru that rebellious teen phase where if you try and move it whilst it's folded it suddenly becomes a massive tangle of bars'n cables'n chain and stuff

I noticed whilst recently in a 'Spiffing Bicycle Emporium' - Stop It! Roger! RIGHT NOW! - that Dahon and Mezzo and other folding bicycles (there weren't any Bro*pt*ns, they don't sell them) had these shiny little mirrors fitted at strategic points on the frame. Magnetic catches.

'Jolly useful!' I thought. I'll buy some.
'We don't sell them, mate!' was the reply

Anybody know where etc. etc.

luv'n'stuff

Well that's the more blunt way of putting it but as usual he's dead right.
